Ye Olde Shebang Punk Soirée

The ‘Shebang’ has been bringing punk music to Bournemouth in the name of raising money for Macmillan UK since 2010, spanning multiple venues and showcasing the best of local and national punk bands as well the Dorset alternative scene. We catch up with head lady Shiv Ferguson to find out the inspirations, longevity and future of this awesome event.

The Shebang has been a staple of the Bournemouth punk scene since its inception in 2010, can you tell us a bit about how it came to be?

Sadly I lost my husband, Malcolm to cancer in 2008. My friends would not let me stay home and mope and I remember being dragged out to see Andy Nazer’s new project that was and is The C30s. I remember that loud angry music making my heart beat and actually being angry for me. It was such a relief. Shortly after Andy and his group of friends reunited for a gig in Tribute to a friend of theirs called ‘Zombie’ who I did not know. There was so much love in the room. I thought we should do something to get people together.

Our friendship group within the Bournemouth Alternative Scene had gotten quite fragmented with the demise of venues like The Gander on The Green and I thought we should have an opportunity to get

together. So with the help of Andy Nazer (Self Abuse/C-30s), Dave Bimble (then GodHead, now Sporadics) and Phil Fuhrey (GodHead) I put on the first one at the Portman. Everyone was doing it for someone they remembered, for Andy and Dave it was Zombie. For me it was Malcolm. So it was dedicated to everyone touched by cancer, whether they have lost someone, or are a survivor.

But it is about celebrating what we have. Bournemouth’s Alternative Scene is so friendly and nurturing. We are really lucky to have these roots in this scene which for me go back 35 years since I first followed Self Abuse when I was a teenager. I was such a fangirl I couldn’t speak to Andy until I started booking the band for the Shebang!

When you did the first one did you imagine you would be still be running them 7 years later?

No it was absolutely supposed to be a one off, but people loved them. It is still the one event where people are shocked to bump into folk they have not seen in over 20 years. People will come even if they left punk behind in the 80s.

Macmillan is an amazing charity that has touched so many lives, do you work closely with them on these events or are you more of a lone wolf?

I normally run the events myself, with a lot of help from the Alternative Community on the day. But I am supported by

Chrissie Wathen-Neal, from Macmillan Dorset, who has been with me since the beginning. She has helped me to approach venues, sorted out banners and promoted the gigs through their social media and press releases. The Shebang is more than just a punk gig. People genuinely benefit from getting together to remember their loved ones and feel they are doing something to help. Cancer makes people feel powerless and that is what I like about Macmillan as a charity. They support people during this terrible isolating illness.

“The Shebang is more than just a punk gig. People genuinely benefit from getting together to remember the ir loved ones and feel they are doing something to help. ”

7 years has probably seen a lot of bands come and go, who are your personal favourites that you’ve had on the bill?

Well I remain a fan of Self Abuse. I don’t think you lose that feeling of the first band you followed and loved. I adored GodHead and Poze who brought back the glory days of the Gander on the Green. But on the whole I dont book bands I don’t like. The Lillettes absolutely rocked it this year for the girls. I think The Gutter Rats get better and better. They were so underrated on the scene, people looked stunned at Boscombe Fair when they saw them and saw how good they are, and how they got the tent jumping. The Sporadics who are headlining the event on the 13th Jan are fabulous.

I also love PXR5 who are playing with their Hawkwind Tribute.

Getting Nik Turner on stage with them at the BCF was quite a coup. I really respect Sarge from Metal Fatigue for what he and his gorgeous partner Vicci from Dark Side of the Mirror are trying to do for the Local Community. They prove what I have always known, that the Bournemouth Alternative Community will always come together to look after their own.

What tempted you out of retirement for the Stomp It Out event at Chaplins this month, and is this a one off the beginning of something new?

I have not been tempted out of retirement! The guys knew I had to slow down so they stepped up without even asking me! They then asked me to get involved and I was more than happy to do so as they knew I would. However this time most of this is being organised by Conrad Barr and Kim West who are stalwarts of the local community. Ross Ferrone who is a mainstay of the punk scene here and was involved in the Oxjam punk takeover is also involved and MCing. So it is a proper joint effort. Chaplins is a great venue for it too and they fully support the event. I can’t help but help out, but it is nice to have the pressure I feel of a full Shebang lifted from my shoulders. I must admit though the fact that people like The Shebang so much they are doing Shebang inspired events is really lovely and we are able to add it to the total so far raised by the Bournemouth Alternatives for Macmillan which is great. I have always wanted the Community to do their own thing and to support them. I hope that more people get together to do this. I am really tempted to do another Shebang the following year, but who knows with events like this getting all of the community involved, maybe I can slow it down a bit. Let the Community take what they find fun about the events and run with it. The Shebang has always been a community event I would be happy to pass it over to them. For a full Shebang though Andy Nazer should be in at least one band, if not 3!

Its an impressive bill of bands, being led by local ska titans The Sporadics. What other bands do we absolutely need to check out and why? Well this one has been created with one thing in mind, no filler acts, they are all great all day. In addition to Shebang favourites, The Sporadics, Kicking Bambi, PXR5 and The Gutter Rats we have some new faces from out of town that I am excited to see. The Intercepteurs bringing tight jumping Ska, Bitter Self Exploitment, are some young punks with bags of attitude from Southampton.

We also have a local high energy punk band Sinful Maggie that I have yet to see but I have been meaning to check out for ages, I want to see how an accordion fits with punk. It is all really exciting.

Do you know the total amount you have raised at these events?

£10,640 for Macmillan Cancer Support and £288 for The Sophie Lancaster Foundation. Hopefully we will raise a lot this time.

We have a great raffle planned and it is fantastic that the generous folk at Bestival have donated tickets as I know loads of people will be after those.

What’s next for the shebang/stomp it out?

I have no idea at the moment. It really is in the hands of the community if they want to do another one. Certainly there will be no Shebang this year so I am thrilled this event Stomp It Out on 13th Jan is happening and delighted to be a part of it. I do recognise the importance The Shebang has to our community, helping us to remember our friends and loved ones we have lost and to celebrate and support those fighting and beating this dreadful disease. It is hugely emotional as well as time commitment. In 2018 it is ten years since I lost my husband and I want to spend the year being a little bit selfish. But I have no doubt that The Shebang will be back in some form or other in the not too distant future. I don’t think the Alternative Community of Bournemouth will let me stop.

BLACK TREE VULTURES Forming late last year Black Tree Vultures have hit the ground running with a string of gigs up and down the country. Formed by sticksman and Voodoo Vegas alumni Jonno Smyth and Aaron Hammersley, they are set to do big things in 2017 with their debut EP coming out next month. We chat to Jonno to find out what the score is.

What was the inspiration for forming the Black Tree Vultures?

Well me and Aaron (guitar) jammed way back in 2013 & we really loved the jams we were kicking out and the energy that came along with them, we lost touch a bit over a few years but early 2017 we hooked up again and decided to make a thing of it, hence BTV was formed!

Having previously been in local legends Voodoo Vegas for a number of years, a band who have seen and done it all, has it been hard to shift back into a brand new band and start at the bottom again (so to speak)?

Yes & no… I didn’t like the lack of gigs and active presence as a band but I loved starting this thing from the scratch being able to choose everything from logos to cover designs. You feel like it’s really a massive part of you and is so enjoyable to see your creative vision come together from the start!

This is a new project, but as mentioned above, you’ve all been around the block a few times. What lessons have you learnt and how are you implementing that knowledge to succeed this time around?

We’ve learned a ton about the industry and we are all very conscious of our appearance & interactions with people who take an interest in what we’re doing! You also learn from your mistakes constantly even today we are still learning, I think you can never stop learning how things operate in this business. It’s all about reacting to all feedback in a positive & constructive manner.

You recorded you upcoming debut EP at Basement in Wimborne, have you used these guys before and what was the experience like?

Basement studios hit the right vibe with us for atmosphere, creativity & space. We all felt very relaxed and creative in the space they have down there, they also worked to our budget without compromise on quality of the product your putting out there! It is both their flexible working ethic & professional attitudes that made it a must for us!

We cannot recommend them enough!

Tell us about your sponsorship deal with Ahead Drumsticks /Natal Drums, and how this came to be.

I have been involved with ahead drumsticks & Natal drums for around about the same length of time give or take a month or so. I hooked up with them back in 2014 when I was part of Voodoo Vegas. Their support & belief in me as

ll you to

an artist has been unreal, they were happy to endorse a project that I was involved with as they really do believe & support their artist roasters!! I’ve used Natal kits and ahead sticks for years previous to my endorsements with them, it’s just down to the high quality products they produce that drew me into them in the first place!

e w all

I noticed you are releasing your EP digitally on a number of media outlets, do you have a favourite you would recommend and do you feel digital releases are more important now than physical media?

ere, n ur

iTunes is a pretty solid platform for us, we all dig that one!

I don’t think you can call one release more important than another, I think it comes down to reach & availability which as any modern person will tell you is greater than our physic reach! Digital offers the listener instant access & the internet makes for a fantastic store you can buy almost anything! So it’s kinda like your being stocked in the busiest store in the world!... that’s what we think anyway!

s!

ticks

ums

nI as

Since forming in September you have already notched up shows in Oxford, Southampton, Essex and Birmingham.

Have you played with anyone out of town that we need to check out, and why?

A few stand out guys are bands like Ryder’s Creed, Western Sand, Dead Mans Whiskey & Bigfoot. All due to their performance element when live, all of these guys entertain… guaranteed!

What advice would you have for someone just getting their first band together?

Don’t expect the world in a day or a week, put in the legwork and don’t go out unprepared… get your live sound/set down and sort out your image too! Invest in yourself too, things like PR & music videos are important… most importantly…. Enjoy yourself because you are all together on the road so it’s important you stay having a good time, or it can affect your creativity!

Whats next for Black Tree Vultures?

We are working on new material for a follow up record to our Debut EP. We are also working on getting out there to show the world what we do live, pushing into Europe is pretty strongly on the agenda and crafting our live set to be better & grow with us as a band! We are also shooting a music video due for release early 2018… lips are sealed at the moment though, We hope you will be at a show sometime soon!

12TH JAN | MR KYPS An exploration in sound

Formed in December 2012, these Weymouth metallers feature members who have played in different groups previously covering genres such as Psychedelic Rock, Stoner/Sludge and Death Metal.

Fissure Of Riddles proudly combines all of these, utilizing an eerie wall of noise effect with sufficiently heavy riffs pounding their way through underneath.

20TH JAN | FINNS WEYMOUTH One of the hottest and most popular artists of the 80s

Frontman of teenpop sensations Haircut 100, Nick went on to amass more hit singles as a solo artist in his own right when Haircut split up.

In 1985, Nick told Smash Hits that “I want to make the kind of LP you can wrap up and give to someone as a present. No duff tracks at all, just 12 shining wonderful singles, I suppose.” In 2017, with Woodland Echoes, he has achieved his goal.
